Someone just posted to iii in the discussion on PHRM.L called Stazi Phormistan, I am presuming they are one of us and therefore wish to correct the post.

The 2 Year prison sentence is for cases heard in the Magistrates Court, if the case makes it to Crown Court the maximum prison sentence is 5 years with no limit on the fines. You can find this information in the notes which accompany RIPA (or it might be Crown Court and High Court I would have to double check and I am very tired right now). Needless to say a case of this magnitude would be heard in the highest criminal court.

PS. If you are one of us or anyone else has posting rights on the iii discussion, don't forget to mention that VM have allegedly stated today on the phone that they are dropping Phorm.

That was me Alexander. I will quickly go check if they have an edit function so I can update it.
